SRU Justification:

Impact: We need this patch to fix Wi-fi kill switch behavior on some
upcoming Dell systems.  I submitted the patch to stable on 2010-12-22,
where it is still pending review.

Fix: The following patch is taken from upstream and is included in >=
2.6.36.

Testcase: We have tested this patch internally (LP: #687526).
